Can you tell me what you know about a Kenya Tree

I'm not very experienced with the zeovit stuff, somebody else can probably give a better answer but if you mean Zeofood7 then I think so.

The problem isn't so much what to feed as it is getting a sufficient concentration of it to the coral without overloading the tank. One thing that would probably work is cutting the bottom off of a pop bottle and putting it over the coral when you feed it. Squirting the food in the bottle will allow you to concentrate it there without adding tons of it to the tank.

Also one quick note, if you are trying to feed this to your xenia you probably won't get much out of it. Xenia doesn't really eat, it gets it's nutrition from zooanthelle in it's tissue via photosynthesis and direct nutrient uptake from the water. It's autotrophic (gets carbon from photosynthesis), the opposite of your heterotrophic (gets carbon from food) dendro.
